Dubarry Furs is now having a pre-winter sale for re-modeling older fur coats. You can make a coat into a jacket, a swing coat, another cut of coat, or a cape. You can get it sheared, dyed, or placed cosily inside an all-weather cloth coat

This 33-year-old shop,  in a beautiful exposed brick and stone atelier in Old Montreal, maintains low prices by doing all the work themselves. Ready-to-wear or custom-made jackets, hats, capes with fur trim (and water resistant reversible ones), and coats, remodeling, repairs, cleaning and storage are all available here.

There is a line of cashmere and Alpaca wear (scarves too) with and without fur trim and shearling jackets.  You may want to just pick up some fur (mink, beaver or fox) earmuffs or  leather or shearling gloves.

Trade-ins are accepted toward the purchase of a new coat.

They have always been known for the quality of their products and their personalized service.

Change is a good shop to replenish your pretty underthings.

Sales help at Change, a Denmark based chain, have had training in fitting bras and learn how a bra should sit around the breasts, back and neck, how to choose a cup and model for you and the anatomy of the bra itself. So add to this knowledgeable service and a sale and you have a great deal.

There are 3 main lines (sizes 28A-40J): Change, Chic for the younger body, with extra padding, and Charade, which is lacy and a bit pricier. It’s nice that there are great prices for larger sizes which is usually hard to find.

You can also shop for sweats, lingerie, bathing suits, T’s and bra accessories, like silicone enhancers, clear straps, strap extenders and bra clips.

Up until the end of September, if you buy 2 items from their new Fall line, you get the 3rd piece for FREE.
